Your family heirloom firearms . Tell us about them :)

It's either the 2nd or 3rd model. I don't know where in the hell I got 29 from.
Lol...I don't know where you got it from either.



Here's what a Model 29 looks like....

My dad bought this rifle for me in 1953, used, from a guy who lived close to us. I was only two, but my dad wanted me to have a rifle, at least that is what he told my mother.lol When I was six, my dad taught me about safety, how to hold the rifle, how to sight the rifle, how to load the rifle and finally he allowed me to shoot the rifle at a target. By age 10, the rifle was in the front basket of my bike while I bicycled over to a safe area to shoot. Most of the marks, scuffs, dents and scratches, came from riding in the basket of my bike. This old rifle has seen some hard times, but it is still accurate and cycles like a good old rifle should. It is nothing fancy, not rare by any means, but it is the only rifle my dad ever gave me. Yeah, I still have it. Here is my Winchester Model 62a, .22, pump.

JWC,

Dad left me one very similar. I need to get it out for some photos.

It is a Winchester Model 1890 - 2nd Model Octagon - born in 1898 - .22 Short pump.
